If that helps your anxieties: having gone to a mixed gym sauna for a long time, I have never ever seen anything remotely inappropriate. People just take the sauna, that is all. If there are any groups coming together, they may chat between themselves, but you’ll barely ever hear a stranger even talking to you.

Gym saunas specifically have enough surveillance and multiple controlled chokepoints where perpetrator would be immediately stopped and given straight to the authorities. So, one should be incredibly idiotic to even attempt something like that. In this sense, it is no less safe than any other monitored public facility.

As a personal argument, a lot of predatory behaviors in men stems specifically from something being too limited and restricted. For people coming regularly to the mixed sauna, even those naked ones in some European places, a naked woman is just another naked person. When it becomes mundane, it stops having anything sexual attached to it.

Maybe I will! In the meanwhile, I’m always open for questions :)

Good to know!

Personally, for the most part I left Reddit even before the Lemmy exodus. But this was the final straw. Since then, full time Lemmy.

Particularly hilarious since Mars has Olympus, too

Just tested it, and it works! Upon receiving the call, the phone wakes up and shows the regular call accept/decline menu. Voice in the call works just fine, too.

Still didn’t test, tbh

Had to do some work to make mobile data work, so there could probably be some issues initially. The pmOS wiki for the phone states that calls are working, but VoLTE support is very experimental.

Ah!

Tried to decipher it, now it plays in my head too

Update on battery life: one place Linux (or, at least, PostmarketOS KDE that I use) truly shines is idle power consumption!

It agressively suspends connections when there are no background processes running and the phone is in the sleep mode, which ends up dramatically improving the idle draw.

I charged my Pixel 3a to 99% and then didn’t use it too much - only listened to music for 1,5 hours. Two full days later, it sits at 70%. If the numbers are correct, I must expect it to last almost a week idle on a single charge.

Because if you can spend $1000 on a phone, you may as well do it quite often. And if you take something for $200…well, either you aren’t ready to change phones every year, or even if you are, you won’t bring much buck.

I’d argue it’s no shit post

US be like:

-Let’s build our entire economy around massive trucks for everyone!

oil depletes

surprised Pikachu face

-Sir, could we maybe scale down on gas-guzzling monstrosities?

-NO. We just need more oil!

wars all over the world, massive oil conflicts with huge civilian casualties

-Sir…

global military control on oil supply, attempts to artificially increase oil prices to make shale profitable

abducting an acting president

-Sir!..

-I SAID MORE DAMN TRUCKS!

Like, it is basically undermining strategic security of the country with the added benefit of razing an entire planet. Is oil business so lucrative to justify both? Or do, you know, certain people pile up money at the expense of everyone else?

So:

• They had nuclear records
• They expose the server to the Internet
• They don’t update their software since 2023

What the hell did they expect?

Thanks for sharing!

I think there are three systemic issues that we can see here.

1. Centralization

As repeated again and again in many contexts, high level of centralization leads to instance admins having too much power over the whole space.

As things stand, if you are banned from lemmy.world, no matter what instance you are on, you might as well start over, as you’ll never reach the majority of Lemmy audience. Admins protect the instance, as they should, but end up taking Lemmy with them.

This is something we can influence. If you make a new account, don’t open it on lemmy.world. You’ll still have full access to it, but you’ll also help decentralize the space. You can also find instances with moderating policies better fitting your views - from essentially zero moderation (like lemmy.today the OP and me both come from, but there are other such instances too) to strict moderation based on various principles.

2. Permanent bans

Lemmy is very black-and-white when it comes to bans. Sometimes, a temporary ban or a warning could suffice, without permanently cutting someone out of the community or instance.

Unfortunately, this is the kind of problem that must be solved on the development side, and that’s something I would suggest for !nutomic@lemmy.ml

3. Lack of proper ways to mark bots whoops, they do exist. But make it more visible!

There must be a good standardized way to mark and filter bot content, so that those who don’t want to see it do not see it (again, a suggestion to !nutomic@lemmy.ml and other Lemmy contributors)

Until then, it could be reasonable to move bot content to separate instances and make respective communities there so that users could easily choose whether they want to see bot content or not.

That said, bot owners must take full responsibility for their bots and the way they may breach the community rules when posting. Moderating bot posts is a major added burden, and while we have a small amount of posters, we have even less moderators and admins. Let’s respect each other, shall we?

https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ also comes as default option in Angelfish, mobile-first Linux browser by KDE (it can also run fine on a regular desktop)

Casual reminder that search engines integrating Wikipedia was just before they integrated quick answers, and then full-on AI answers, too.

Ironically, Wikipedia has been exactly where it started. So, if you truly want to follow God’s ways, click the actual links to various sites and read them through. This is the peak search engine experience.

(All love to Wikipedia, it’s a nice source)

That’s why we need to normalize food sharing and foster the community

Might really be the time to revisit smartphone-based server ideas.

That’s just kinda how tiktok and YouTube work. Algorithms love bright faces talking loudly and reacting to videos.

TIL attempts to bring Linux to mobile are THIS old

No, I only use Android apps for when I absolutely need a working VPN :)

Otherwise, all Linux, baby!
